[Lmuse-user] Using a Windows VST in MusE

[Pieter B. <pi...@re...>]

I already wrote something about this in my previous topic, but since
this is an entirely different subject I decided to create a new topic.

I would like to use the Windows VST plugin HurdyGurdyLE from
http://soundbytes.de/HurdyGurdy/ and control it with my keyboard from
MusE.

Well, I finally got the FST install right and after I start QJackCTL and
MusE, I start the VST with the "./fst.exe" command. The application
opens with some additional buttons in the top of the window. 

However, when I open MusE and look at "Settings -> Midi Ports / Soft
Synth", there is no Device Name that says "HurdyGurdyLE midi In" or
something like that.
Somebody from the "Linux Audio User"-mailinglist suggested to choose the
option "seq" as MIDI Driver in QJackCTL. This way, some ALSA things are
visible in the MIDI tab of QJackCTL. I can connect my USB Device to the
VST directly (this works great), however I would of course like to
record the midi to a midi track in MusE, edit it somewhat and play back
the midi track using the VST.

Oh, to hear sound from the VST at all, I have to manually connect it to
the output ports in QJackCTL, but it works so I don't mind :)

I don't see how I can accomplish this? There is a
"MusE-Sequencer/midi_capture_1" available in QJackCTL, but I don't know
where I can find this in MusE. When I use the
"Midi-Through/midi_capture_1" and connect it (in MusE) to the Midi
Through, the result is a chaos of sounds from the VST (every note I play
on my keyboard gets stuck in some kind of loop in this midi-through
connection).

When I use the program "a2jmidid" instead of the "seq option" in
QJackCTL, two similar connections appear in the MIDI tab, same story.

Does anybody know whether it is possible to control the VST from MusE?
